Apple's newest watches can give a daily 0 to 10 readiness score after a week of wear, a quick guide to how hard to push that day.
Apple Watch can now give you a daily Readiness Score, a number from 0 to 10 that signals how ready your body is. It only works on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, which have Apple's S11 chip. Other models may be added later.
After the seventh night, open the new Readiness app on the watch. It is a blue circle with a pink and green scale. A widget can also sit on your home screen.
The score falls into four groups: Recover (0 to 1), Pace Yourself (2 to 4), Ready (5 to 7) and Go for it (8 to 10). It does not stay fixed. It updates through the day, and workouts, movement, naps and heart rate can all change it.
The report does not explain how the score is worked out, so treat it as a guide rather than a medical reading. It also does not say whether older watches will get the feature.
If you own a Series 12 or Ultra 4, enter your health details and wear the watch for seven nights to see your first Readiness Score.
